Revenue and Expenditure Plans 

Enrollment
September through December state apportionment payments to schools are based on the school district budgeted enrollments. Beginning in January, monthly apportionment payments are based on actual year-to-date average enrollments reported to OSPI. Therefore, beginning in January, monthly apportionment reports will agree with the district’s most recent enrollment reports. variety of other state and federal grants and programs use enrollment data to determine allocations or school district eligibility for funding.

Staffing
S-275 staff reporting, along with student enrollment reporting, determines the allocation of state fund (money going from the state to the school district). School employee compensation (money going from the employing school district to the teacher, etc.) is determined by local policy.

• The staff mix factor is a five-decimal number between 1.00000 and 1.88482 that quantifies the varying education and experience levels of certificated staff. Mix factors are taken from LEAP Document 1 and are assigned to certificated employees through the S-275 reporting process. The staff mix factor for certificated instructional staff reported on the S-275 is used to determine state salary allocations to school districts for basic education, special education, and other programs.
